LLMs struggle with authentic and temporally neutral Singlish generation

A new research paper explores the evolution of Singlish, a creole language from Singapore, over a decade of digital communication. The study investigates whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate Singlish that is both authentic to the language's current state and temporally neutral. Findings indicate a trade-off: models producing realistic Singlish often inherit temporal biases, while those aiming for temporal neutrality generate less authentic outputs. The research proposes temporal neutrality as a key metric for evaluating LLMs' sociolectal grounding. AI
